ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a composition including stem cell-derived microvesicles as an active ingredient for promoting neurogenesis. The stem cell-derived microvesicles according to the present invention can promote neurogenesis and migration of nerves and also promote angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells, and thus can be usefully used in treatment of neurological damage.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a composition comprising stem cell-derived microvesicles for promoting neurogenesis and a method for promoting neurogenesis.

BACKGROUND ART

Recently, various preclinical and clinical studies on stem cell therapies have been conducted for various diseases such as cerebral infarction, traumatic neuronal injury, musculoskeletal disease, etc. However, the current technology has reached up to the level of simple extraction, culture and proliferation of stem cells and injection of the stem cells. Moreover, it is known, as a result of clinical studies up to now, that stem cell therapies have not yet shown a significant effect. Extensive research on a variety of genetically modified stem cells to promote the effect has continued to progress, but cell therapies using genes cannot be applied to the human body due to ethical issues.

Moreover, there are several problems in clinical application of the use of stem cells. Firstly, in the case of cell therapy products, there is a risk of tumor formation after stem cells are transplanted into tissue. Secondly, stem cells may cause arterial occlusion due to a relatively large size, resulting in cerebral infarction. Thirdly, stem cells can migrate to the brain during the acute phase when the brain-blood barrier is open but have limitations in crossing the brain-blood barrier due to a large size during the chronic stage. Lastly, inducing stem cells to specialized cells having desired properties for cell therapy products has limitation.

Contrarily, cell therapy using microvesicles has recently attracted attention as a method that is differentiated from the cell therapy using stem cells. Typically, microvesicles are small vesicles of 0.1to 1 μm diameter and refer to cell membrane microparticles circulating in the blood, such as endothelial cells, platelets, etc. It is known that stem cell-derived microvesicles contain proteins, receptors as well as nuclear components and thus have a role in cell-to-cell communication. Moreover, the microvesicles contain a relatively small amount of animal serum compared to stem cells, and the risk of zoonosis can also be eliminated. In view of these characteristics of microvesicles, the cell therapy using microvesicles is expected to be a new paradigm that can overcome the limitations of existing stem cell therapies.

Therefore, extensive research aimed at using these stem cell-derived microvesicles instead of stem cells has continued to progress. For example, International Patent Publication No. WO 2010/070141 discloses a method for producing stem cell-derived microvesicles and therapeutic effects of the produced microvesicles on immune disease, allergic response, inflammatory disease, etc., and Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-122027 discloses a particle secreted by a mesenchymal stem cell and comprising at least one biological property of a mesenchymal stem cell and a technology using the particle as a therapeutic agent for cardioprotection.

However, there is not much research on stem cell-derived microvesicles, and it cannot be said that all stem cells that can be used for treatment of various diseases can be replaced by microvesicles. In particular, the correlation between microvesicles and neurogenesis has not been reported.

Therefore, if the generation of neuronal cells can be promoted using stem cell-derived microvesicles, it is possible to use them in the treatment of diseases related to neurological damage, and thus there is an urgent need to study the correlation between microvesicles and neuronal cells.

MODE FOR INVENTION

In the following, the present invention will be described in detail with reference Preparation Examples and Examples. However, the following Preparation Examples and

Examples are provided only for illustration of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited by the following Preparation Examples and Examples.

EXAMPLE 1 Comparison of the levels of Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles in Serum

Citrated sera were collected from stroke patients and centrifuged at 19,800 g and 10° C. for 10 minutes to obtain stem cell-derived microvesicles. The obtained stem cell-derived microvesicles were suspended in 20 μl PBS, and the blood levels of stem cell-derived microvesicles (CD105-positive/annexin V-negative) and microvesicles (CXCR4-positive/annexin V-negative) expressing the SDF-1 receptor, CXCR4, were compared in patients with a small infarct (DWI volume: 10 cc or less) and patients with a large infarct (DWI volume: 10 cc or more), and it was determined whether CD105-positive cells were CD90-positive or double-positive cells. The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, it was found that the amount of CD105-positive cells and CXCR4-positive cells in patients with a large infarct (B) after the onset of cerebral infarction was greater than that in patients with a small infarct (A). It can be seen from this result that the number of stem cell-derived microvesicles and microvesicles capable of migrating by SDF-1 chemotaxis increases in patients with a large infarct. Moreover, it was found that most CD105-positive cells were CD90 double-positive cells, indicating that CD105-positive microvesicles were derived from stem cells.

Meanwhile, based on clinical records of stroke patients, the correlation between stem cell-derived microvesicles (CD105-positive/annexin V-negative), microvesicles expressing the SDF-1 receptor, CXCR4 (CXCR4-positive/annexin V-negative), and SDF-1α according to the diffusion weighted image (DWI) showing the infarct size, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and the time since the onset of cerebral infarction was analyzed. The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the number of CD105-positive/annexin V-negative stem cell-derived microvesicles showed a tendency to increase as the infarct size was larger and the NIHSS score was higher (A), and the number of CD105-positive/CXCR4-positive/annexin V-negative microvesicles showed a tendency to increase as the NIHSS score was higher and to decrease as the time since the onset of cerebral infarction increased (B). It can be seen from these results that the blood level of stem cells with high motility was increased by microvesicles as the severity of cerebral infarction was higher, indicating that the existence of potential stem cells may decrease as the time since the onset of cerebral infarction increases. Meanwhile:, the blood concentration of SDF-1α decreased as the infarct size was larger and increased as the time since the onset of cerebral infarction increased (C).

EXAMPLE 2 Isolation of Microvesicles from Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells 2.1 Collection and Culture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Bone marrows were collected from the femur of rats to obtain bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells by culture. The obtained mesenchymal stem cells were cultured at a density of 1×10⁵ cell/ml in T75 flask at 5% CO₂ and 37° C. and subcultured at 80% confluence. The subculture was performed in a manner that the medium was removed, the stem cells were gently washed with PBS more than once, cultured in a 37° C. incubator for about 1 minute after addition of Tryple (Invitrogen), and placed in a medium containing 10% FBS fetal bovine serum (FBS) to neutralize the reaction, and then the cells were collected and centrifuged at 1,300 g for 4 minutes. The cell precipitates were resuspended in a medium containing FBS, counted, and cultured. The fourth to sixth passage cells were used in the experiment. Low-glucose DMEM containing 10% PBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin was used as a medium.

2.2 Preparation of Simulatives for Ischemic Preconditioning Stimuli

Hemispheric tissues of white rats with induced middle cerebral artery occlusion were fragmented in 150 mg/ml DMEM medium and then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected to obtain ischemic brain extracts. The obtained ischemic brain extracts were plated in equal amounts and kept at −70° C. For application of ischemic stimuli to stem cells, the stem cells were suspended in DMEM medium to prepare 20% ischemic brain extract, thus preparing stimulatives for ischemic preconditioning stimuli containing 20% ischemic brain extract or 20% ischemic serum.

2.3 Isolation and Analysis of Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles

The bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells prepared in Example 2.1 were cultured in a 60 mm culture dish in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS. The stimulatives for ischemic preconditioning stimuli (20% ischemic brain extract or 20% ischemic serum) prepared in Example 2.2 were added, and then the supernatant was collected from the culture medium. The supernatant was centrifuged at low speed (2,500 g, 10° C., 10 minutes) to remove impurities from the supernatant and centrifuged again at high speed (14,500 g, 10° C., 45 minutes), thus obtaining microvesicles derived from stem cells. The number of the obtained microvesicle was calculated by the following formula, and the expression degree of CD105 and annexin V in each microvesicle was analyzed using a flow cytometer.

The number of microvesicles (n/L)=(the total amount of microvesicle suspension/the amount of microvesicles used in the antibody response)×(the total amount of microvesicle diluent for flow cytometry/the amount of microvesicle diluent used for flow cytometry)×(10⁶/the total amount of serum)

The expression degree of CD105 and annexin V was used as a marker to determine whether the microvesicles were derived from mesenchymal stem cells, and microvesicles obtained from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells treated with knockout DEME and staurosporin A were used as controls. The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that the amount of microvesicles obtained from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells did not increase in the control groups treated with Kn DEME (knockout DEME), STS 100 nm (staurosporin A), and 20% ischemic serum (20% serum), but the amount of microvesicles significantly increased in the group treated with 20% ischemic brain extract (20% BE (whole)). Therefore, it was found that it was desirable to use the ischemic brain extract in order to increase the secretion of microvesicles.

2.4 Determination of Safety of Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles

It was determined whether cell death was induced when neuronal cells under culture were treated with microvesicles obtained by ischemic preconditioning. The neuronal cell death was determined by LDH analysis 24 hours after treating neuronal cell culture with microvesicles (1, 3, 10, 30 μg/ml) obtained by ischemic preconditioning or with 30 μm NMDA positive control). The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, it was found that microvesicles obtained by ischemic preconditioning did not cause neuronal cell death, but more than 70% neuronal cell death occurred in the group treated with NMDA. Therefore, it can be seen that the microvesicles obtained by ischemic preconditioning do not induce the death of neural stem cells and this is considered as a safe material.

EXAMPLE 3 Stimulation of Neural Stem Cells using Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles 3.1 Isolation and Culture of Neural Stem Cells

Brain tissues collected from 14-day-old embryonic rats were gently fragmented using a narrow-bore glass pipette or dissociated to single cell level using a cell dissociation solution such as Accutase and centrifuged (500 g, 5 minutes), thus obtaining precipitated cells. The obtained cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium containing 1XN2 supplement, 25 ng/ml bFGF, and 25 ng/ml EGF to induce neural stem cells. The induced neural stem cells were subcultured such that the diameter of the neuronal cell is maintained within 100 rim.

3.2 Increase in Neurogenesis Capability of Neural Stem Cells by Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles

The neural stem cells induced in Example 3.1 were treated with the stem cell-derived microvesicles obtained in Example 2.3 by ischemic preconditioning, and the neurogenesis capabilities of the treated neural stem cells were compared. Microvesicles obtained from mesenchymal stem cells without ischemic stimuli were used as a control. Each experimental group was observed under an optical microscope and a confocal microscope. Nestin as a marker for neural stem cells and doublecortin (DCX) as a marker for neural progenitor cells were used, and their differentiation into astroglial cells was determined. The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 5.

As shown in FIG. 5, it was found that the neurogenesis capability did not significantly increase in neural stem cells treated with microvesicles obtained without ischemic stimuli (A), but the expression of nestin and DCX markers significantly increased in neural stem cells treated with microvesicles obtained by applying ischemic stimuli to bone marrow stem cells (B), representing the increase in neurogenesis capability.

3.3 Increase in Angiogenesis Capability of Vascular Endothelial Cells by Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles

Vascular endothelial cells were treated with the microvesicles (1, 3, 10, 30 μg/ml) obtained in Example 2.2 by ischemic stimuli, and the angiogenesis capabilities of vascular endothelial cells were compared. Microvesicles obtained from mesenchymal stem cells without ischemic stimuli were used as a control. Living cells were fluorescence-stained with Calcein AM to be used as a marker to measure the angiogenesis capability and observed under a fluorescence microscope. The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 6.

As shown in FIG. 6, it was found that the increase in fluorescence was not observed in the control group (ctrl), but the fluorescence increased in a concentration-dependent manner by angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells after treatment with stem cell-derived microvesicles. Therefore, it can be seen that the stem cell-derived microvesicles can promote angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells.

3.4 Stimulation of Neural Stem Cells by Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles in Ischemic Stroke Animals (In Vivo)

The microvesicles obtained in Example 2.3 by ischemic stimuli were injected into the ventricle of rats with ischemic stroke, and the migration distances of neural progenitor cells were compared. PBS containing no microvesicles was injected into the ventricle and used as a control, and the microvesicles were fluorescence-stained with antibodies against the DCX marker for neural progenitor cells.

The results are shown in FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, it was found that the injection of stem cell-derived microvesicles into the ventricle of rats with ischemic stroke significantly increased the migration distance of neural progenitor cells in both the ipsilateral (ipsi) and contralateral (contra) of the ventricle, compared to the control group (Veh) treated PBS. Therefore, it can be seen that the stem cell-derived microvesicles can stimulate neural progenitor cells to promote their migration.

3.5 Promotion of Neurogenesis by Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles in Ischemic Stroke Animals (In Viva)

The microvesicles obtained in Example 2.3 by ischemic stimuli were injected into the ventricle of rats with ischemic stroke, and the degrees of angiogenesis of vascular endothelial cells were compared. PBS containing no microvesicles was injected into the ventricle and used as a control, and the microvesicles were fluorescence-stained with antibodies against Von Willebrand factor (vWF), a marker for neural progenitor cells. The results of the above experiment are shown in FIG. 8.

As shown in FIG. 8, it was found that the neurogenesis increased in both the ipsilateral (ipsi) and contralateral (contra) of the ventricle and, in particular, significantly increased in the contralateral of the ventricle in the experimental group treated with stem cell-derived microvesicles, compared with the normal control and the PBS-treated control group (sham). Therefore, it can be seen that the stem cell-derived microvesicles can promote the migration of neural progenitor cells and also promote angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells.
